The Georgia prosecutor who indicted Trump, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, is being targeted by the GOP for removal under a new law.

A little over a week after a prosecutor in Georgia indicted former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 presidential election, Republicans said they will use a new law to remove her from office.

In May, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the law that created a new commission of political appointees with the power to remove and discipline elected prosecutors over decisions or policies not to prosecute certain offenses. The law seeks to limit or restrict reform-minded prosecutors. In the case of Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — though, District Attorney Fani Willis is not even known as much of a reformer. Instead, Republican lawmakers set their sights on Willis for another reason: prosecuting the wrong person.

    And that governor is responsible for that law. Kemp fucked us.

    They will remove her probably try get her charged and then work to have someone who will make this case go away.

    If this happens and the people of Georgia or hell all of us to rise up and put stop to it.

    Then might as well hand the country over to the fascist because that would have won.

    This must not be allowed. But I knew the GOP would find away to protect Trump.
